Samenvatting:

Written by the creators of the popular website, this accessible, and fully illustrated guide is “a hilarious, ridiculously informative and absolutely necessary atlas for people with pussies” (Roxanne Gay).

There is a shocking lack of accurate, accessible information about pussies out there. If the clitoris and penis are the same size on average, why is the word “small” only included in the definition of clitoris? Sex probably doesn't cause yeast infections, but racism probably does cause BV? Why is masturbating so awesome? is labiaplasty on a global astronomical rise? Does egg freezing really work? Should I stick an egg-shaped rock up there or nah?

Pussypedia shares peer-reviewed science that address old myths, confusing inconsistencies, and the influence of gender narratives on scientific research. It teaches readers how to read science, consider information in its context, and to accept what we don't know rather than search for conclusions. It also weaves in personal anecdotes from the authors and their friends––sometimes funny, sometimes sad, often cringe-worthy––to do away with shame and encourage curiosity, exploration, and agency.

A gift for your shy niece, your angsty teenager, your confused boyfriend, or yourself, Pussypedia is our generation's Our Bodies, Ourselves, with a healthy dose of fun.
